Congratulations on a beautiful pup! Goldens are my favorite breed. Easy to train. Eager to please their humans. Happy disposition. So much to like. I like the lighter color Goldens as well.
Here's our Luna the day we got her (4 years ago)

Amazing progress with acceptance from Belle !!! After only 3 days being with Zeus , this weekend she was initiating outdoor play with Zeus..he shied away slightly because Belle was a little rough. Little does she know he will be bigger than her in another month or 2. The can be together in the same room with very little issue. They are going to be great together in no time! what more can we ask for (other than total housebreaking)
You are making me jealous!
I’m sitting in my shop with an empty, muddy rug next to me where our dogs used to nap in front of the fan or heater when I was working on things. The fact it’s still there should tell you I’m a huge softy, especially when it comes to dogs! The fact that after more than 2 years I still occasionally check it before I walk to the cabinet that’s just past it might tell you I’m a little soft in the head.![]()
Have you gone the whole 2 years with no dog? The longest I have ever made it was 1 year and that was out of respect for Gary not being ready for a new pup... Then I lost it and came home with a puppy, Gary got over it after a few days , Shadow lived 17yrs and to this day is one of the best dogs we have had.
Had a seriously impulsive day yesterday and came home with this guy

He is just shy of 3 months old, English Cream Golden Retriever. A young family got him 2 weeks ago and one of their kids had quite the allergy so they had to re-home him. Their loss for sure, not only is he cute as hell but he appears to be quite smart.
It's been over 15 years since we have had a puppy. I woke up this morning to a puppy yap to go out. Now we need to come up with a name. He was called Casper but I'm not wild about it, just doesn't roll of the tongue for me. He doesn't respond to it so he may not like it either.
Belle is not exactly thrilled but we're working on it, it's not even 24 hours we've had him.
Our weak moment was a year ago January when we got to Myrtle Beach Travel Park. Our miniature poodle had died two months prior so first trip without him. Met a micro Goldendoodle at the RV park and fell in love with him. Owners were from near where I grew up in upstate NY. They told us about the breeder from near Rochester, NY. Of course went on their website and there were two siblings left with a go home date of 2/4/23. Mind you that Rochester is 14 hours from Myrtle Beach. After talking to the breeder, she had a delivery of another sibling outside of Washington, DC (only 7 hrs) and would deliver these to that location free of charge. Needless to say, we ended up with our two, Gibbs and Abby. They are supposed to be nominal 20 lbs. Abby is 21 lbs, but Gibbs is now 41! They are confirmed siblings by doggie DNA, and are a cousin to the trouble maker dog we met at MBTP!
